has a new romulan player i wanted to check out all the ships i could get there is one photo i keep seeing pop up. i do not know how to put photos up but its called . Romulan Scimitar Redesig.after doing some research on the guy that made it he is a fan of the game and i have to say i am shocked no dev has jumped at the chance to buy the design off this guy.i wouldn't be surprised if he has not tried submitting the design to the devs

ETA: I had a pretty strong feeling this would be my answer when I first read the title. If it isn't already, should "Why doesn't Cryptic use (X) design for a ship?" be put in the FCT?
I don't like the schim myself, but can understand those that do, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a T6 Schim.
Probably won't happen for a very long time.
sorry you didnt like them the two designs for it to me at lest could be the best looking ships in game

Your link has a much better design.
Both my Mr. Burn.
Yeah i believe that is the one he is talking about. Though to me it looks like a Adapted tal-shiar design, which i would not mind seeing though compared to being a Tier six design of the established schim. It also always looked much wider an shorter compared to the other model designs of it, which would look interesting something more like a stealth look for it.
There is good reason why it does not fallow the bird like artwork of a normal Romulan ships, since it was developed an built by the Remens not the Romulans. It does look like they prefer much more insectoid or arachnid styles compared to Romulans, but also with being enslaved an made to live in pretty harsh conditions it shows in the design of it as a very harsh an imposing ship. I would not mind seeing more Remen ship designs added to the Romulan faction since they are one of the two races of the faction, which i think many forget about there being two races in the empire/republic, while maybe even get a few Remen takes on established Romulan designs.
Hmm weird since even in quite often used canon it is stated the Remen are/were slaves of the empire, such as in http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Reman. Also it is stated here that it was built by Shinzon alongside the Remen and with the help of some Romulan military aid, http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Scimitar. Just because you do not want to take it as being true, does not change that pretty much it is canon to be build by the Remen, which were/are the slave labor of the Romulan empire an was to be used to overthrow them. It is true they did not touch on how they developed it, but slaves have done alot of things right under the noses of their enslavers. Though it does not say if the military that helped Shinzon helped with the construction of the scimitar or not, merely they aided him wishing to see the peace with the Federation to end.
Now whether you like or not the style is kinda besides the point, and no not all the people that like edgy or sharp designs are going to be younger people, just as not all people that like more minimal designs are older so drop that stereotype. I can see a use for the pointed/sharp edges an glowing edges to be more imposing showing how powerful the ship is by having the excess energy to do such things for some seeing it might put them on edge. It is weird to not have windows on the ship though i will say that a primarily night-dwelling an underground race could see no use in windows or lightning gained from it, while the no visible weapon ports is strange most of all as it would be more imposing to show them.
The Remans weren't just slaves, they were soldiers too and actually fought in the Dominion Wars. Now what better way to design and build a ship that basically took control of the entire Romulan Republic. It was designed from with-in the Empire, with inside knowledge of the entire Romulan Fleet. A ship capable of defeating all technologically advanced scanning systems, with over-whelming weapons capability is a sure sign of the deeds of a servitor race rising up to crush their former masters.....and it was built in secret! Any light researching could have told you this!
Actually, all you have to do is watch Nemesis, listen to the dialogue, and then make reasonable extrapolations.
yeah.......maybe know what you are talking about. Remans WERE slaves in the empire, AND it is explicitly stated that the Remans made the ship in secret, there is no "maybe" about it as it is said on screen.
Shhhh...don't make them think for themselves...it might break them! lol.
If they were to make a Tal Shiar Adapted Scimitar that design would work nicely.

Actually, the fallacy of this statement is clear. Nemesis is pretty much unwatchable.
